the engine will be for an extra 330L that is going to have an auw of around 13 to 15 lbs, as I have been searching for engines I have found rather quickly that I need at least a 40 cc engine to make this plane fly like I want it. I know this is a beginners forum and thats not a beginners plane but the world of gas engines is a new beginning for me, so thats why I just asked the engine question..........lol . The plane was very reasonable in price but the engine does not look like it will be, so this one is going to have to go on the shelf until budget permits! Thanks to all of you for helping with the size info. pretty soon I imagine I will be asking how to setup a gas plane.........................OH MAN, this noob is nuts!
Definitely 40cc or larger for an aerobatic plane like that. Maybe even one of the lighweight 50cc engines. Actually, they are pretty affordable compared to larger glow engines, especially 4-strokes plus they cost much less to operate in the long run. Take a look in the gas engine forum, you'll find plenty of good information there. Of course there is a little BS to wade through as well.
